Making Mistakes in Life – Daily Wisdom

Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1745 of our trek, and it’s time to explore another nugget of wisdom, which includes an inspirational quote along with some wise words from Gramps for today’s trek. Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. We are on a daily trek to create a legacy of wisdom, seek out discernment and insights, and boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend; this is Gramps. Thanks for coming along on today’s trek as we increase wisdom and create a living legacy. Proverbs 16:16 says, "How much better to get wisdom than gold, and sound judgment than silver!" If you apply the words you hear today, over time, it will help you become more healthy, wealthy, and wise as you continue your daily trek of life. So let’s jump right in with today’s nugget. Today’s quote is from George Bernard Shaw, and it is, “A life making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing at all.”

Making Mistakes in Life

Few people purposely make mistakes, nor do we enjoy it when we do. But mistakes are inevitable because none of us are perfect, and most are far from it. The alternative to not making mistakes is to do nothing, but that would be the biggest mistake you could make in life. It is more honorable to try and make mistakes than not to try. Mistakes are the stepping stones to learning. Mistakes are part of the dues a person pays to live a rich and satisfying life. Making mistakes is an inherent part of life that we cannot escape; however, we must be big enough to admit those mistakes, smart enough to benefit from them, strong enough to correct them, and wise enough not to repeat them. We should learn from the mistakes that other people make also. We can never live long enough to make all of the mistakes ourselves. The biggest mistake you can make in your life is the constant fear of making mistakes. Romans 8:35-39 Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? (As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.”) No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord. As you ponder this nugget of wisdom for yourself, please encourage your friends and family to join us and then come along tomorrow for another day of our Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.
